Hello, I have been informed by Admissions that my application for 2014 entry was unsuccessful and the reason was following:
"final grade of 88.11% that you have achieved in your bachelor degree does not meet the College minimum requirement of 90% so we were unable to consider your application."
It is very disappointed occasion for me, especially that my application could not even be considered. I can't agree with that. Because the "final grade" 88.11 described at the end of my transcript is just the mean value of all 47 course grades. There is a high influence of my 1st year grades and there are several such additional courses like History etc. that is not related with the Computer Science, but affect as the same as other Subject related course grades to the final grade in a way that my university defines it (simple average).
I was not an excellent student 3 years ago, but I made essential progress since then. I was an excellent student for 2 years and I did my best at the last year scoring up to 98. I graduated this year, but at the same time I have more than 2 years work experience in Computing. It was really hard to combine work with full-time study, I didn't sleep at nights and matched these A levels, increased my grade up to 88.11 (only 2 points less) but it is impossible to get over 90 in such conditions, even if I score 100 for each course in the last year. Because the coefficients of years are the same. For instance in UK, my friend studies at UCL, the final grade there calculated with respect to coefficients 1: 3: 3: 5 for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th year bachelor study respectively. It provides him the opportunity to influence his grades for the rest of his study. But in my case, it's impossible if refer to the mean value. However they may take into account my grades on individual courses or make some coefficients...
I wrote the letter on such context but I haven't received a response.
I would like to know if I have a chance my grades to be reassessed with respect to my last achievements and individual units?
Is it possible after stating in my application status "unsuccessful" in Student e-Service?
